TOURISM INDUSTRY SPECIALISTS

We believe careers in the tourism industry are incredible, but these opportunities are often misunderstood or simply not known.

To help the tourism industry attract the best and brightest talent in the future, we have engaged tourism professionals from across the sector to get their take on tourism as a career. You can view the video content below, or head to our social media channels to see more and engage with us there. These videos cover everything from sales and marketing careers, HR, operations and front-line tourism roles. They show the breadth and depth of career paths in tourism and the passion these professionals have for what they do.

It is our goal to provide tourism businesses with a sustainable pipeline of talent coming into the industry by increasing the understanding and knowledge about the sector. This maybe through educating professionals in other industries, running our own training programs, or helping young people see tourism as a viable and reputable career path to choose.

Tourism Talent is your one-stop shop to attract and find future talent.
